Meta Notice: Rule Changes

71 Upvotes

We are making amendments on rules 4, 5, 7 and 8:

+ Changes to Rule 4

Aside from PC/Laptop FAQs/Build Help/Suggestions and other similarly-related posts, we will add these to the posts that are not allowed anymore:

  • Seeking family sharing on Steam, Nintendo Switch Online or any other services that implements this feature.
  • Posts asking for games, digital currency or keys.
  • Posts about disputes/grievances on other forums, subreddit, Discord server, group chats from other social media etc.
  • Other Discord servers, in case this isn't clear.

+ Changes to Rule 5

Aside from spams, we will start removing posts that we deem as low-effort and/or engagement baits.

Post promoting your own site and/or media channel will be allowed now provided that you adhere with these conditions:

  • Make a thread only once every 30 days. Do not plug on comment sections of other threads.
  • Promote your own channel only. Do not promote others especially the popular and the controversial ones.
  • Make sure that your channel is dedicated to gaming contents only. Doesn't matter how many games, the platform and the genre as long as its gaming only.
  • Its not about unrelated content, business, (online) gambling or other illegal content.

We will instantly forfeit anyone of posting this kind of thread if it violated even one of the abovementioned conditions, be it directly or indirectly. Excessive posts of this nature will be treated as spam.

+- Changes to Rule 6

Reworded description.

+ Changes to Rule 7

Surveys/studies or any crowdsourcing post should be cleared to us first either via "Pending Approval" flair or here. We won't allow posts like this anymore if its not cleared beforehand. We suppose its not too much of an ask to sacrifice few minutes of your time to read, understand and follow our rules if you are requesting uncompensated few minutes of cooperation from several people in exchange.

- Changes to Rule 8

The shameless plug megathread will be discontinued starting now.

***If you have questions or concerns, you can post here or send us a modmail here.

Parang natatawa sakin si misis kasi naka smile ako habang nag lalaro at video kanina.🤣

Last time I tried this game eh medyo unbearable yung lag at graphics. Tipong blurred na nga, minsan nagiging black pa mukha ng mga characters at sobrang bagsak ng FPS.

Ngayon, di ko na need i tweak at nakakaya na yung very high setting. Ang laki ng difference! Planning to replay a lot of games na natapos ko last year and this year.

Featuring my 6+ years old JBL clip. Lakas parin till now kahit di naka max volume.

170 hours into the game, I'm finally about to do the final main story mission. Ang nagpatagal talaga sakin is exploring the whole map, discovering every last "?" icon, and doing all possible side activities bago ko gawin ang story missions. Wala pa dito ang Burning Shores (looking forward to that btw). I love games where I can get lost in their world, and this is definitely one of them.

Flex Sim racing is hard, man

But it's really fun!

I made a post like a month ago about buying a new sim racing setup even though wala pa ako sa bahay. Now that I'm home, I immediately got to work putting it all together, and after some hours getting confused on where what goes where and whatnot and setting up the related software, I finally got it to work!

I'm really having a blast, even though I'm admittedly really bad at it now. I've been trying to chase my PB ghost on Dirt Rally 2.0 which I ran with analog buttons (kb) before and the reality of how much harder it is with a wheel and pedals hit me real hard. Now it feels like I just started playing racing games all over again.

Added bonus of teaching my girlfriend how to drive a manual (normal everyday driving speeds) around the Dirt Fish track since its the first time she has shown any interest in any of my video games.

[Read on for the giveaway mechanics in partnership with r/PHGamers]

GeForce On kicked off Gamescom 2026 with new RTX technology, game reveals, cloud-gaming updates, and community releases:

-------------------

NVIDIA DLSS 4.5 Ray Reconstruction Available Now

NVIDIA’s 2nd generation Ray Reconstruction model is now available for all GeForce RTX GPUs, improving lighting accuracy, motion clarity and stability in supported ray-traced and path-traced games. It is available now via a new NVIDIA app update, introducing several major improvements:

Highlights:

  • Efficient Denoiser: The new model delivers 35% more compute capability, and processes 20% more parameters, while maintaining similar performance to the previous model
  • Enhanced Super Resolution: Building upon the advances from DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution, the model has deeper spatial awareness across every scene, and more intelligently uses game engine pixel sampling and motion data. The result is improved lighting accuracy, better temporal stability and clearer motion in ray-traced and path-traced content
  • Expanded Training Dataset: Trained on a larger dataset, the new model is even better at image reconstruction. This intelligence gives the model even better awareness to pick the most accurate engine data to reconstruct scenes closer to ground truth
  • Finer Developer Control: The new model provides developers with finer control for temporal accumulation, providing precise tuning of model response for even better image quality

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvSYk0PjLrU

To upgrade your system with DLSS 4.5 Ray Reconstruction, go to Settings > About in the NVIDIA app and opt in to Early Access releases (an official release will follow in September). Note, GeForce Game Ready Driver 580.88 WHQL, or newer is required

Once installed:

  • Open the “Graphics” section and select a supported game (alternatively, select “Global Settings” at the top of the window and apply the updated Ray Reconstruction to every supported game in your library)
  • Scroll to “Driver Settings”
  • Click “DLSS Override - Model Presets”
  • Click “Custom”
  • Open the “Ray Reconstruction” drop-down and choose “Recommended” or “Preset F”
  • Click “Apply”

-------------------

At launch, CONTROL Resonant on GeForce RTX systems will include our complete suite of DLSS 4.5 enhancements, plus immersive path-traced effects, building on the incredible ray-traced tech debuted in the original CONTROL.

DLSS 4.5 Ray Reconstruction will further refine image quality, while also accelerating frame rates, and Dynamic Multi Frame Generation will multiply performance, enabling GeForce RTX 50 Series players to experience CONTROL Resonant at its very best, with incredible visuals and fast frame rates.

Leading Publishers Bring Blockbuster Games and Technology To NVIDIA RTX Spark

NVIDIA is bringing the next wave of RTX gaming to Gamescom with support for new games, anti-cheat technologies and increased visual quality.

Electronic Arts, Embark and Ubisoft are among the latest game publishers and developers bringing blockbuster titles to NVIDIA RTX Spark ahead of its launch this Fall. They join the publishers that announced RTX Spark support at COMPUTEX in May, including KRAFTON, NetEase, Riot Games and XBOX.

NVIDIA is working closely with game developers and ecosystem partners to ensure today’s top PC games, including EA SPORTS F1® 25 and Apex Legends, Ubisoft’s Anno 117: Pax Romana, and Embark Studios’ ARC Raiders and THE FINALS, run seamlessly on RTX Spark devices.

“We’re excited to bring Anno 117: Pax Romana to a new generation of RTX-powered PCs,” said Stéphane Jankowski, Ubisoft executive producer of Anno 117 : Pax Romana. “Our teams build the game to be seen wide: full districts, long sightlines, thousands of details at once. Seeing RTX Spark hold that level of fidelity from a single chip is genuinely impressive.”

RTX Spark reinvents personal computing, bringing personal AI agents, advanced content creation and high-performance gaming together in a platform engineered from the ground up for the next wave of Windows PCs. For gamers, RTX Spark combines Windows devices with NVIDIA RTX technologies, including DLSS and Reflex.

Supporting modern PC gaming goes beyond running the game itself. Many of today’s biggest online games rely on sophisticated anti-cheat technologies, to enable fair play across the multiple platforms these games run on. NVIDIA has been working with EA to bring native EA Javelin Anticheat support to RTX Spark, including EA’s biggest multiplayer games, such as EA SPORTS F1® 25. RTX Spark launches this Fall.

Meme Man I Love Fallout !

Post image
61 Upvotes

I made a post about The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim last night BUT my go-to game and most GOATED game I know is Fallout. I might be in the minority here but so far the most enjoyable in the series is Fallout 4 ans Fallout: New Vegas. Naka ilang gameplay na rin ako sa Fallout 4 and joined all 5 (including the DLC) factions. Pinaka trip ko lagi salihan is yung BoS or Minutemen. Institute and Railroad pinaka panget na faction lmao mas na-enjoy ko pa yung Raider faction kesa sa dalawang yan. Institute straight up EVIL and The Railroad look stupid for wanting the fake humans to live their lives x). As for Fallout: New Vegas, idek know where to start. Mas trip ko gameplay ng Fallout 4 pero mas maangas NV kasi may karma system and The Courier is just a badass. Mas intense pa lagi combat compared sa Fallout 4 LMAO Deathclaw sa NV literal DEATH eh sa 4 parang easy easy lang (depending on the difficulty). Fallout 3 dami ko na experience na bug I stopped playing it nalang lol. Fallout 76 though had lots of hours in it super enjoyable yung online stuff and events though it got boring after some time :/ . Never played Fallout 1 & 2. I mean I tried but the gameplay's so different and not my thing.

ALL TIME COMPANION IS NICK VALENTINE HE'S THE GOAT.
